Creating an Account doesn't work on IE.

Thank you for informing me about the IE bug. I try to test everything in IE, but things still slip by.

There's a fix posted here.

That my friend is my all time favorite post. XD

The lobby now has an "LFG" button where it will post to the shoutbox with a link that you are lfg! Comment here and let me know what you think.

I think that it is a really cool and convenient feature.

There have been a lot of problems with people getting evicted from their room mid-game. Also, reconnecting doesn't seem to work at all.

Reconnecting requires BOTH players to disconnect fully.

Could you describe the situation around what you were doing with your browser prior to being evicted?

Just out of curiosity, since I'm quite ignorant when it comes to coding, is it at all possible to eventually migrate RTS to a completely browser based experience?

Yes. I am going to start this process by first creating a "spectating feature" that integrates with the lobby. Once that's done, it won't be far to move RTS completely to the browser.

Yes and no.  One could create an entirely browser-based online Redemption experience, but not with RTS.

I think you misunderstood. He's not asking if RTS can be ran in the browser, but if it could be re-made to a browser application.

That's an exciting prospect. I'm currently without a laptop, so I have to go to a friend's to play my ROOT game tonight. I think doing away with downloads altogether would be a great way to get many more people involved.

I Love looking through these comments about programming not knowing anything about programing

This happened to me, but I think it might have something to do with keeping the browser open.

Do we need to download from the "All in 1" installer in order for the Redemption Connect! Lobby to work?

No. that is just a convenience as it installs RTS, all updates, and all .ocx dependencies for you.

As far as I know, it will work with all versions of RTS.

A couple suggestions here. I think the window should flash when someone types something in the lobby you're in. That way it doesn't go unnoticed and encourages quicker response times.

I understand this request, but this is not possible in the browser. I tried exploring the option that Facebook used to have where the title would be changing creating a "flashing" effect, but that does not work consistently in browsers now, especially chrome. The browsers now do not execute code on tabs that are not focused to reduce memory consumption and processing power.

Also, when you hit the "Start Game" button, I think just clicking that window that pops up should close it, instead of having to hit the X.

Excellent suggestion.

Better yet, have a button that copies it, rather than having to click it.

I'm not sure I understand this one. Clicking on "Start Game" automatically copies the server url to your clipboard.
